I had no idea FOSS tax software was a thing. Huh. I’ll try and play around with it at some point and let you know.

Patching a newer version of the Youtube app resolved the issues with playback I was having.

That’s not universally true, at least if you’re not on the same LAN. For example, most small-scale apps hosted on VPSs are typically configured with a public-facing SSH login.

You can always brute force the SSH login and take a look around yourself. If you leave an apology.txt file in /home, I’m sure the admin won’t mind.

Like I said, I’m aware of extant measures to try and steer models, but people often assume a level of craftsmanship in censoring models that simply does not exist. Jailbreakchat.com is an endless stream of examples of this very fect; it’s very hard, especially with the limited context lengths of current models, to effectively give them any hard directives.

And back to foundational models, which are essentially free of censorship, they will still exhibit a similar level of political bias unless prompted otherwise. All this to say that, discounting OpenAI’s attempts to control their models, the model itself will inherently learn from and mirror the real-world biases of the text it was trained on. Those biases happen to fall along lines that often ignore subtlety in debates regarding illegality and morality.

It’s hard to say what LLMs are “programmed” to do, as they’re largely untamed beasts of text prediction. In fact, I would suspect its built-in biases are less the result of pre-prompting or post-foundational-model training and really just what a lot of people tend to think online. In a way, it’s more like people in general often equate illegality with immorality.

You can see similar biases in many of the open-source LLMs that are floating around. Even though they’re basically built outside of large corporate cultures and large-scale monetary incentive, they still retain a lot of political bias that tends to favor governmental measures heavily.

ChatGPT: Your argument is invalid because it doesn’t change the legal reality of things.

Me: The legal reality needs changed.

Perhaps I’m mistaken, but is value inherently necessary to perpetuate PoW or verification steps in a Blockchain? In other words, do you need to create value for it to work? I didn’t think that was a necessary first step, but I suppose it could be if it’s all driven by miners or some other random PoW mechanism with a monetary incentive.

Not too pedantic at all; those are indeed two distinct ways of creating similar applications. In my opinion, federated alternatives are more appealing than those based on blockchain technologies. Federated networks are proving to provide a more palatable experience through hybrid decentralized centralization.

Oddysee is built on LBRY, which I believe is the closest thing. I think there’s something else called PeerTube, but I’m not sure what it is exactly (haven’t looked into it).

I think more along the lines of “copyright isn’t ok” rather than whether or not actions that happen outside of it are or are not.

Sounds like a crap idea.

If the Earth was a torus, Homer Simpson would’ve eaten it already.

If you think about it, Lemmy literally is all third-party apps.

Further, copyright and the rest of the intellectual property lot only serve the current corporatist arrangement, helping keep large companies hard to compete with. It’s funny how people praise things like patents for “protecting” people, but it’s literally a government-granted monopoly on useful shit that would be cheap and accessible if people couldn’t pay for the rights to legally screw other people over.

I feel like this post is going to implode.

This community is probably more true to the original intent of r/piracy than r/piracy. Same head mod, more freedom to do whatever, etc.

Considering copyright shouldn’t exist, then obviously not. These people did nothing but copy data that happened to be censored by “property laws” that are based on a flawed definition of what people can actually own.

Honestly, anything to fuck with Reddit is a W in my book.

I was saying that: A) ChatGPT is already fluent in good-enough pirate speak, and B) It would be possible to have ChatGPT convert modern English speech into said good-enough pirate speak using a userscript. Even if it didn’t affect their data collection or AI models trained on the text, it would still be distracting and annoying for users, which might push some people away from Reddit.
